I feel such a sadness over this. No words. Prayers sent for his family.

bobarian · 02-04-2010, 10:29 AM

It is a tragedy when any of our men are lost, being a BOTL just brings it home a bit more. My prayers go out to his family and to all those still serving bravely.

If we might contact the sender and get a home address we might want to send a care package or donation in the form of savings nbonds if he had some kids. A little from each of us might go a long way. Just a thought

This was written for Submariners lost "on eternal patrol"; but it's the only appropriate memorial I know:

”There is a port of no return, where ships
may ride at anchor for a little space.
And then some starless night the cable slips,
leaving only an eddy at the mooring place.
Gulls veer no longer, Sailor rest your oar.
No tangled wreckage will be washed ashore.”

X2. For a man who not only gave his life for our country and safety but a man who chose in life to better every one of his fellow soldiers around him by helping us help them all.

My thoughts go out to his family.

Very sad. Prayers sent for family and friends.

There is no greater gift than for one to give his life for his friends. May the peace of the Lord be upon you Capt., as well as your family. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten!

He has seen AND smoked cigars directly out of our own humidors and had a couple hours of restful happiness- a small escape from the everyday stresses of life as a soldier- because of our good deeds. If we can't fight the good fight over there with those honorable American soldiers, we should at very least ensure a few moments of relaxation for them. Like I said for what they do for us, it's the least we could do.

May G-d watch over his family and fellow soldiers during this trying time.

My prayers and admiration.
These men and women spend their entire day and night protecting us. I can think of nothing more noble, or a greater expression of love.
He will certainly go with God, justly.
